Conclusion

  • The OTOC is more sensitive to quantum chaoticity

than the level statistics.

  • The OTOC detects both chaos and local instability,

which may be the information scrambling.

time on an IBM 370/168 utilizing thereby

almost

all

  • f the core.

In order to perform a statistical

analysis of a given

spectral sequence

appropriately

it is exceedingly im- portant

to have a constant

average

spacing between

neighboring energy

levels26

since global

variations

  • f the state density

can falsify the fluctuation mea- sures considerably. Various

unfolding

procedures are known to decompose a given spectrum into sec-

ular variations and fluctuations.

26 27 Here we have

used cubic spline for smoothing

with an appropriate

number

  • f knots to describe

the secular

variations

  • f the integrated

level density of the spectrum of H

[Eq. (1)] in a given energy

interval. A second im- portant

point is the necessity of large data sets in or-

der to obtain reasonable fluctuation

measures.

For

each

energy interval investigated

we

consider

200 energy

levels

as a lower limit for a reliable

statistical test.

The distributions

  • f the spacings

between

adja-

cent levels of the unfolded

spectral

sequence

are

displayed

as histograms in Fig. 1 for specified ener-

gy intervals.

The abscissa is in units of D which

is

the average

spacing

between adjacent levels

in the

respective

energy

interval.

Here

a value

  • f the

coupling

parameter

  • f k=0.005 has been chosen.

An obvious

trend

from a Poisson-type

distribution

in

the

low-lying

energy interval

[Fig. (la)]

to

Wigner-type distributions

in the high-energy

regime

[Figs. 1(b) and 1(c)] can be seen. We are able to

approximate the histograms conveniently

by a con-

tinuous distribution

function

Pq(S)

specified

by

the parameter

q:

P,(S)=

S~exp( —

PSt+q);

n = (1+q)P,

P = [D-tr [(2+q)/(1+ q)]]'+q. (2)

For

q =0 P~(S) recovers

the Poisson

distribution

Pp(S) = (1/D )exp( — S/D ),

and

for

q = 1

the

Wigner distribution

Pt(S) = (n S/2D2)exp( —

mS2/

4D2). It was introduced

first by Brody28 in order to fit NNS histograms

  • btained

from nuclear spectra.

The respective

values

  • f q displayed

in Fig. 1 for

the different

energy intervals have been calculated

by a least-squares

fit.

Having

  • bserved

the transition from regularity

to

irregularity

for a specific Hamiltonian

we now vary

the

coupling

parameter

k. Figure

2 shows in its

upper part the variation

  • f the

q parameters

with

energy for different values of k [Eq. (1)]. For their

computation

we used energy

intervals

  • f length

50

whose

centers are the abscissae

  • f the respective

data

points.

A continuation

  • f the curves

to the

right would

require

more converged

eigenvalues. However,

it is evident

that

q will tend to unity

as

the energy and/or

the value of the coupling

param-

eter k increase. The curves have been truncated

at

the left-hand side, since the

histograms

for low-

lying energy

intervals

exhibit the anomalies charac- teristic

In order
